The Autocatalytic Oxidation of Aniline by Persulfate and Permanganate as a Means for the Deposition of a Thin Polyaniline Film

Abstract

The autocatalytic oxidation of aniline in an acidic solution with persulfate and permanganate, followed by the use of UV–Vis spectroscopy, leads to the deposition of a thin layer of the reaction product polyaniline onto glass and platinum.
